Yes, though there are challenges. Amazon, despite authors such as myself distributing ebooks world-wide, doesn't. Their infrastructure doesn't support that flexibility. So I have to purchase my kindle books using a credit card with a US billing address (remember, I live in both Seattle and China ;-). I wouldn't be able to buy my own kindle books.
Since I've had similar trouble with the Apple ITunes/App Store (music has lots of licensing/distribution issues) I use that credit card there too, so I can't comment on iBooks.
Anyone else have experience to share? What eBookshops will distribute without any hassle?
